2.翻译题

二十四小时的全天候时间表在改变着我们的生活方式。21世纪的办公地点无处不在。我们外出度假时会随身携带无线手机或手提电脑。有些人甚至把手机带入音乐厅或会议厅，因为在他们看来，错过一个重要的商业信息是不可弥补的过失。二十四小时的超高速的“因特网时间”使我们无法静心休息和思考。越来越多的企业行政主管开始把自己有时间睡觉作为吹牛的资本。对他们来说，地位的最大标志在于无能力按照自然的生物钟而非网络钟来工作和休息。

ReadthefollowingpassagecarefullyandtranslatetheunderlinedsentencesintoChinese.

【答案】81.有益菌可以帮助人们治疗多种疾病，受此启发，很多人通过使用酸乳食品和各种补品的办法吸收细菌。然而，这种人为补充细菌的做法是极其肤浅的。

82.由于样本的复杂性，吉尔博士及其研究组人员还不能构建出肠道内细菌的完整基因组，而只能构建出单体基因。不过，这也可以使他们对整体数量作出估算。

83.因此，研究人员只能将发现的基因和那些功能已经研究清楚的基因的公开数据库进行比较，从而猜测可能得到的研究结果。

84.这种比较帮助吉尔博士第一次确定了可能存在的细菌借以帮助人体消化从植物体摄入的复杂碳水化合物的酶催化反应的过程。

85.有人认为，这一点对个性化药物的成功开发是至关重要的，因为不同的人具有不同的微生物群落，对不同的药物有不同的反应。

问题1选项

【解析】句意:我一用完盒式录音机就借给你。

考查短语辨析。everytime每次，每当，不能充当连词;themoment立刻，马上，一……就；until直到……时，不能与瞬时性动词连用，题干中的lend为瞬时性动词,故排除C；lest唯恐，以免，担心,不符合句意。故选B。

【干扰项排除】A、B、C选项均无法与空格前后构成相应逻辑关系。

【句意】人们对加速制造业衰退的经济政策提出了批评。

2.根据第六段“Shewassopleasedthatunexpectedly,sheacceptedthelastofferImade.”售货员很到高兴是因为作者知道如何用他们国家的方式进行讨价还价，所以选项C符合原文。

3.根据第六段“Thepricewastoolow...payherthreetimesasmuchbefore...”可知，作者觉得价格太低，怕售货员挣不到钱，所以多买了几件作为一种补偿。选项C符合原文。

4.根据第八段的内容可知,“我”学会了在困难面前保护自己;不知不觉中，“我”也学会了保护自己。也就是说作者学会了控制自己的情绪,不会轻易受到影响。选项A符合原文。

）withtheneighboringcountryintheissuingofvisas.

问题1选项

A.reciprocity

B.show-off

【答案】A

【解析】考察名词词义辨析。reciprocity“相互作用;互惠主义”；show-off“爱炫耀的人”；payoff“付清”；intimacy“性行为；亲密”。句意：尽管政府保证将压制与邻国的互惠签证颁发，但是抗议仍然在继续。选项A符合题意。

D.revere

【答案】D

【解析】考查动词辨析。A项extricate“使解脱，解救”，B项disparage“贬低，抨击，诋毁”，C项emulate“仿真，模仿，尽力赶上”，D项revere“敬畏，尊敬，崇敬”。由while“然而”和asamonster“一个怪物”以及asalivinggod“活着的神”可知，前后语义是相反的，那么空格处填入“尊敬”符合句意。句意：在IT行业，一些人认为比尔•盖茨是一个怪物，而另一些人则把他尊为活着的神。因此，该题选择D项正确。

【答案】第1题:B

第2题:A

第3题:C

第4题:A

第5题:D

第6题:D

【解析】1.判断推理题。文章第一段提到一些权威科学家表示，新年排毒产品声称可以清楚体内因季节性过度放纵而积累起来的有害化学物质，但实际上是在浪费时间和金钱（awasteoftimeandmoney），由此可以推断出人们经常会购买这些排毒产品，因此选项B符合题意。

2.细节事实题。文章第三段提到多喝水、多吃水果以及早睡的排毒效果都可以与排毒产品相当，并且成本更低（atmuchlowercostbydrinkingplentyoftapwater,eatingfruitandvegetablesandgettingafewearlynights），因此选项A符合题意。

3.词义题。文章第五段提到在这些谬论中，有一种观点认为，人体在日常生活中以某种方式积累有害化学物质(Amongthesemythsistheideathatinsomewaythebodyaccumulatesnoxiouschemicalsduringeverydaylife)，这些有害物质需要通过一些神秘的排毒过程来被expunge，根据上下文可知排毒产品是用来清除有毒物质，因此可以推断出expunge这个词的意思是”清除”，因此选项C符合题意。

4.细节事实题。文章第五段提到在这些谬论中，有一种观点认为，人体在日常生活中以某种方式积累有害化学物质，这些有害物质需要通过某种神秘的解毒过程排出体外（Amongthesemythsistheideathatinsomewaythebodyaccumulatesnoxiouschemicalsduringeverydaylife,andthattheyneedtobeexpungedbysomemysteriousprocessofdetoxification,oftenonceayearafterChristmasexcess），通过上下文可知这个神秘的过程就是服用排毒产品，由此可推断出很多人认为排毒产品拥有神奇的效果，但是在专家看来这些都是无稽之谈，因此选项A符合题意。

5.细节事实题。文章第六段提到了对排毒产品行业的批判，是开始于11位科学家对公众对化学物质和毒素的认知调查（Thecriticismofthedetoxindustryhasemergedfromaninquiryintopublicperceptionsofchemicalsandtoxicitybyaworkingpartyof11scientists），因此选项D符合题意。

6.判断推理题。文章倒数第二段提到JohnEmsley的观点：我们的身体能够消除节假日期间摄取到脏物（Ourbodiesareverygoodateliminatingallthenastiesthatwemightdigestoverthefestiveseason）；文章最后一段提到ColinBerry的观点：即使你喝了几乎致命剂量的酒，在没有排毒产品的帮助下，你的肝脏会在36小时内清除它（Evenifyoudrinkanalmostlethaldoseofalcohol(whichIdon’trecommend)yourliverwillclearitin36hourswithoutassistancefromdetoxtablets）。由此可知这两位都认为人体本身能够排毒，选项D符合题意。

15.单选题

Theproblemshouldbediscussedfirst,forittakes（）overalltheotherissues.

问题1选项

A.presumption

B.prosperity

C.precedence

D.probability

【答案】C

【解析】考查名词词义辨析。presumption“放肆，傲慢；推测”；prosperity“繁荣，成功”；precedence“优先；居先”；probability“可能性”。根据前半句“这个问题应该最先被讨论”可知这个问题优先于其他的，因此选项C符合题意。

【答案】第1题:B

第2题:A

第4题:C

第5题:C

第6题:A

第7题:C

【解析】1.根据第一段的二三句“Itsshore,whichliesabout399metersbelowsealevel,isthelowestplaceonthesurfaceoftheearth.TheDeadSeaisthesaltiestbodyofwaterintheworld.”可知,死海最显著的几个特征是海拔最低,海水最咸,所以选项B符合原文。

2.根据第五段的倒数二三句“Butextremeheatintheareacausesthiswatertoevaporaterapidly.Thus,theDeadSeanevergrowslesssalty.”该地区的极端高温导致这些水迅速蒸发。因此,死海的盐分从未减少过。也就是海水含盐量大,所以选项A正确。

3.根据最后一段的第一句“TheDeadSeawasprobablyformedmillionsofyearsago...”由“probably”可以推测,学者们对死海的形成不太确定。选项D正确。

4.根据第七段倒数第二句“...bathingintheDeadSeaishealthfulbecauseofitshighmineralcontent.”有些人认为,在死海洗澡是健康的,因为它富含矿物质。选项C正确。

5.根据第五段最后一句“Thehighsaltcontentofthewaterprovidesgreatbuoyancy,enablingswimmerstofloatwithease.”含盐量极高的水提供了巨大的浮力,使游泳者可以轻松漂浮。选项C符合原文。

6.根据第五段第一句“Sincetheearly1900'
